Nick Wechsler- Interview for ELLE Magazine.

In the company of blackmailers, con artists, and people all-too-ready to fake their own deaths, Nick Wechsler's character Jack Porter on ABC's mega hit Revenge is a weekly respite from the spiteful storm. However, the seasoned TV actor (you may remember him as Kyle Valenti on the CW's cult favorite, Roswell) insists he's less charming—and a whole lot dirtier—than his Hamptons alter ego. The Albuquerque native talked to ELLE.com about schoolyard fights, his Ladybugs moment, and being "a lot funnier" than the character he so convincingly portrays.

Age: 34

Provenance: Los Angeles

Relationship Status: Single

On Jack’s recent engagement: "It can’t work out well with Amanda. He’s so responsible and so good—too good for his own good. He’s trying to fall for her again, because she’s the mother of his child and it’s been proven. So he can’t back out now, and he can’t be absent. He can’t do that to the child."

On guest starring on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia: "There’s just something dirtier about this show. There’s something authentic. I watched them do their brilliant thing, and I was like, 'I want to be able to do that!' Being funny has always mattered a lot to me. It’s why I started acting—to make my friends laugh. I’m a lot funnier than Jack."

On defending a girlfriend’s honor: "It was middle school, and middle school fights are so weird. They’re very orderly. Somebody called her a name, so we all walked out together, everyone circled around us, and we started fighting. I ended the fight by pinning him, because I used to be a wrestler."

On Revenge’s complex plot lines: "It’s complicated to the point where I can’t remember stuff. It’s actually very hard! The time between when we get the sсript and when we shoot the episode is so short that I barely have time to get my stories straight. Some of the stuff with the Graysons and The Initiative is headier than the stuff that involves Jack, but I think it’s great that there’s so many different things going on."

On his dodgeball obsession: "I played on an all-girls team. They asked me to be the only guy but they wanted me to dress up as a woman. So I did—I wore a schoolgirl outfit and a wig."
